Manchester City are considering a move for Chelsea and Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez this summer, as per a new report.
The Blues are in the market for a new midfielder as they prepare for life beyond club captain Bernardo Silva, who confirmed last week that he will be leaving when his contract expires in June.
City are also negotiating a new contract with Ballon d’Or winning star Rodri, who is approaching the final 12 months of his current deal and has publicly opened the door to joining Real Madrid.
Executives at the Etihad Stadium are certain to sign at least one world-class midfielder in the upcoming transfer window, with Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson and Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali widely reported to be top targets.
